## Summary

The Moray Council has initiated a tender process for the Bilbohall Housing Phase 1 project, which involves the construction of 28 dwellings and shared infrastructure in Elgin, under the works category. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 28th August 2025. The contract is expected to commence on 5th January 2026 and conclude by 1st November 2027. This open procedure aligns with the CPV classification for construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses, and it conforms to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for contractors specialising in building construction and infrastructure development, particularly those with experience in large-scale, affordable housing projects in Scotland. With a total estimated development of approximately 106 units over several phases, this project promises recurring business opportunities. Businesses with a strong turnover history, appropriate insurance cover, and relevant past project experience are well-suited to compete in this tender, as the evaluation criteria heavily weigh economic and technical capabilities. Furthermore, inclusion of community benefits and sub-contracting opportunities augments the potential for local businesses and SMEs to engage robustly with this procurement process.
